All defects will be disclosed in the photos. Book is very solid and the dust jacket has a mylar cover so its in really nice shape save for a few creases on the front and the back cover has been folded. Inside pages have some foxing and yellowing. There is a little writing and a library stamp in the front pages. Dive into the gripping narrative of "The Black Swallow of Death" by P. Carisella, a compelling biography that pays homage to the heroic tales of African Americans in warfare, specifically Eugene Jacques Bullard. Eugene Jacques Bullard (born Eugene James Bullard; October 9, 1895 - October 12, 1961) was one of the first African-American military pilots, [1][2] although Bullard flew for France, not the United States. Bullard was one of the few black combat pilots during World War I, along with William Robinson Clarke, a Jamaican who flew for the Royal Flying Corps, Domenico Mondelli [it] from Italy, and Ahmet Ali Çelikten of the Ottoman Empire. Also a boxer and a jazz musician, he was called "L'Hirondelle noire" in French (literally "Black Swallow"). Published in 1972 by Marlborough House, this hardcover edition is a treasure for enthusiasts of military history and biographical accounts, complete with a dust jacket for added protection and longevity. This first edition book explores the lives and valor of historic figures during World War I and II, offering a rich linguistic journey through its English prose.

Its ex-library status adds a layer of authenticity and collectability for bibliophiles and historians alike. Discover a piece of history that celebrates the courage and resilience of a pivotal era.
